Looks like I'm going to have to sit out the first batch. Unexpected expenses. Such is the life of a working stiff. And you guys think it's all champagne and caviar working with Bowzer...HA!
Just ordered from Bass Direct in the UK also. It will be interesting to see if this can replace my B3K!
Published a handful of synthy Aftershock Neuro presets. You can get them from Browse Sounds > Web. Fun, you can left-swipe any user's presets and choose More By... to see all presets by that user.

Thomman has also listed the Aftershock a while ago, unfortunately, since the reflex e priority now, I'll only be able to grab one in late July, early August.
I don't know anything about the Blowerbox. But obviously there's a gazillion Rat variants out there. The good news is the Aftershock has 3 different RAT engines to choose from, plus you can pair that with a cascade which would allow you to mix RAT engines, or put another EQ block before/after the RAT, push the RAT into an overdrive to soften it, another distortion to crisp the top end. Lots of potential options.
Is there any incentive to those of us that participated in the short lived TalkBass One Series tourbox from last year?
Just bought mine off Reverb! Very excited to see all the Rat & gated sounds.
Fudge this looks great. Anyone know if it can do a really really tight, clear, distortion? Like an amptweaker tight metal. Think djent guitar tone.
I don't see why you can't get something similar from the Aftershock. Particularly if you use Cascade mode you can then leverage one of the gated engines to get the "tight" feel, and cascade that into whatever drive engine you want to finish with. Additionally there's a very good noise gate feature built in you can use with any of the engines (including the clean engine).
I can think of at least two djent bands that use Darkglass pedals for distortion on bass - TesseracT and Monuments. Considering that the Aftershock has 2 Darkglass-based models (and plenty of other models that could work) I think you're covered.

Two Darkglass-based models?
If I'm not mistaken, both of the "Smoked Glass" models on the Aftershock are based on Darkglass pedals (most likely the B3K and one other).
One is assigned to the middle position on the switch by default, and the other can be accessed from the Neuro app.

I have not looked at the app, I only saw John K.'s screenshots from the beginning of the thread (when there was one---only one---listed explicitly as Darkglass, not the mild obfuscation). I did not realize there were two. I assume B3K and VMT? The only other option would be the Duality, which doesn't seem like it would have the same following.
